Wed, 12 Apr 2006 17:34:13 +0000 http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/index.php/archives/2006/04/11/the-alarm/#comment-1858 Hey Bob, This is what's good about the music biz!!! Fucking hell! I'm sitting here drinking my morning cup of tea in Wales when all my mates from the USA send me your rant about The Alarm. What I don't understand is why the hell you can't play the tracks in your podcast? Go for it I say........ We need people like you to stand up and tell the USA about this record. It's been out in the U.K. since March (play them as an import) !!!!!! Just in case you don't know. The reason for the release delay in the USA is that I got hit with Leukaemia in December last and I'm in the middle of round 5 in my boxing match with chemotherapy. I've managed to play some shows (One a month here in the U.K.) and keep my hair...... (Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing!!!!) but I want to be there when it comes out in the USA. I'm getting the sucker under control now and my docs say we are going to be in NYC at Irving Plaza on May 19th for Joey Ramones (God Bless Him) Lymphoma Benefit Concert. (Come along as my guest if that's where you live). Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for brightening my day and hopefully we can meet at some point in the future. I look forward to hearing from you, Best wishes, Mike Peters P.S. Seriously, if you want permission to play The Alarm then you can use this email in court!!!!! Hey Bob,
